I don’t often post consecutively, but when I do, it concerns the minor leagues and those posts are ill-scheduled. A few days ago, I had a luxurious fifteen minutes to myself with which to do as I would and discovered a segment of a podcast with new f… …

Whether it’s diminishing returns on the player development front or merely that the PhD student lifestyle clamors for the lion’s share of my attention, I’ve found myself more tuned out from the minor league goings-on in recent years than I was wh… …
